- The_Rossborough_Inn abstract "The Rossborough Inn is a historic building on the campus of the University of Maryland, College Park. Construction on the building began in 1798 and was completed in 1812, making it the oldest building on campus (older than the university itself) and the oldest building in the City of College Park. Built in the Federal style, lower flankling wings were added in 1938, when it underwent extensive renovations. It is listed as a historic site by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission.The building was constructed by land speculator John Ross, with its original purpose being an inn for individuals traveling between Baltimore and Washington DC (on the Washington and Baltimore Turnpike). According to Anne Turkos, the archivist for the University of Maryland Libraries, the name 'Rossborough' refers to the name of the area the inn was built on in the late 18th century and early 19th century, after landowner Richard Ross ("Rossborough" was used interchangeably with "Rossburg" as late as the 1920s). By 1835, financial troubles had doomed the inn business and the building was being used as a farmhouse by its owner at the time, Charles Benedict Calvert, who had purchased the Riverdale Plantation. In 1858, Calvert donated the land that the Rossborough building sat on to the University of Maryland (then known as the Maryland Agricultural College).Now a part of the school, the Rossborough Inn was a faculty residence in 1864 during the Civil War, when Confederate General Bradley T. Johnson and his cavalry brigade occupied the university grounds. Johnson used the Rossborough Inn as his headquarters.The building has been used for a variety of university functions since. Extensive renovations by the university (with the help of the federal government) have resulted in a much different contemporary appearance than the inn previously had. It is currently used by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, but previously served for faculty and alumni functions (including serving as the home of University of Maryland Faculty and Alumni Club), and housed a restaurant (known as "The Carriage House") that served lunch on weekdays According to campus lore, the Rossborough Inn is haunted. Carved in the keystone above the front door is the head of Silenus, made of a rare Coade stone.".
